Silver Canyon

Tim Kelleher is the Managing Partner and leads the investment team. He previously sourced, evaluated, and monitored leveraged buyouts and late-stage growth financings as a Partner at Desai Capital Management and later as Managing Partner of KMCP Advisors, a spin-out from Pacific Corporate Group. Day-to-day deal execution involves portfolio manager Doug Hall, who joined in 2014.

Silver Canyon operates as a private equity firm, not a family office. It invests on behalf of external investment funds managed by Silver Canyon Group LLC. The firm does not represent a single family’s capital; its principals generate returns by acquiring and growing portfolio companies and eventually selling them to strategic buyers.

Silver Canyon makes direct control acquisitions and non-control growth-equity investments in middle-market companies. There is no public record of the firm acting as a limited partner in other private equity funds or participating in fund-of-funds structures. Its activity is concentrated in direct private equity transactions.

The firm’s track record includes building-materials distribution (Fulcrum Building Group, Franklin Homes), consumer retail (Sunflower Farmers Market, EyeCare Centers of America), food and beverage (Widmer Brothers Brewing, Quantum Restaurants), luxury goods (Brown Jordan), and data analytics (SymphonyIRI). It targets companies where operational improvements and add-on acquisitions can accelerate growth.

No. Silver Canyon does not publicly disclose assets under management, deployment figures, or fund sizes. The firm communicates its track record through realized exits — such as the sale of Fulcrum Building Group to Builders FirstSource in December 2022 — rather than AUM-based metrics.

Silver Canyon formed Fulcrum in 2019 by acquiring South Bay Lumber and Navarre Lumber. Over three years, it grew revenues more than five times through two add-on acquisitions (Ford Lumber and Southeastern Sash Door) and two greenfield locations. In December 2022, Fulcrum sold 100% of the business to Builders FirstSource for undisclosed terms.

KMCP Advisors, formerly PCG Corporate Partners Advisors, is the entity through which Tim Kelleher has historically conducted private equity investments, spun out from Pacific Corporate Group. Silver Canyon Group and KMCP Advisors share management and the CFO function (Samantha Sacks serves both entities), effectively operating as a unified investment platform.
